I have yet to find an organization that knits arts and activism together so seamlessly. This non-profit is IT when it comes to creative means of community mobilization, celebration, and street theater. Volunteer there today--you won't regret it, and they need all the help they can get. And if you donate, you'd be surprised to see how far these folks can stretch a dollar.
